Vegan Mini Donut Muffins

These vegan mini donut muffins are light, but perfectly donut-dense and laced with warm spices, covered in a powdered sugar glaze. They're delicious little bites!


What you'll need: Makes ~24 mini muffins
1.5 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup dairy free milk
1/3 cup (1 pouch) unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp melted plant butter

How to make it:
Preheat oven to 375° F.

Spray a mini muffin tin (that makes 24) with nonstick spray.

Mix the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl, then add the wet ingredients directly in the same bowl. Whisk until the dough is combined and sticky.

Fill the pan wells about three-quarters full, or use a cookie scoop. Bake on the middle rack for 9-11 minutes. The edges will be slightly golden. Check with a toothpick for doneness. It should come out dry.

To make the glaze, whisk 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1-2 Tbsp dairy free milk. Adjust as needed.

Carefully remove the donuts from the pan with an offset spatula. Let cool on a rack for 3-5 minutes before glazing. And then try to eat just one.
